“Manufacturing Your Exit: Power in Planning”

What happens to your manufacturing business when you’re ready for your next chapter? With a significant number of New Hampshire manufacturing businesses owned by individuals approaching or beyond retirement age, succession planning is becoming an increasingly important conversation.

At the 2026 Manufacturing Summit, ACRES Partners Seth Greenblott (bio) and John Prieto (bio) will offer a practical look at when to start planning, what buyers and successors look for, and how advance preparation can help protect the business, its employees and the legacy you’ve worked so hard to build. The key takeaway? You don’t have to be ready to leave tomorrow to start planning today. Join us October 9 to learn why giving yourself time—and having a game plan—can make all the difference.
